IGT 2024-04-28: STL@NYM — Here Comes Trouble!

[Radar]

They're just plain hard watch. Double play machine with men in scoring position. Boy Stearns you better be up to the hype before next season starts.

[Cowtipper]

That was a blunder I'd expect the Mets to make! We're wearing off on others.

I keep seeing these baseball video game ads. Is it just me or have the graphics really not gotten that much better in years? At the rate they were improving back in the day, I'd have expected near photo-realistic graphics by now.

[Edgy MD]

Mets not pinch-running Wendle or a pitcher for Stewart.

[Cowtipper]

One out away from being under .500 again.

[Edgy MD]

You've been Badered.

[Cowtipper]

HERO-son Bader!

[Cowtipper]

Come on Mark, here's your chance to enter Mets lore with a game-winning dinger.

[Cowtipper]

Well,



"IT HAS HAPPENED!"

[Cowtipper]

Vientos freshness!

That was great. He's been killing the ball up here in the Cuse

[Edgy MD]

Mets get the walkoff from Vientos but don't have a sideline reporter working the game to interview him.

[Edgy MD]

Joey Wendle was unavailable. Wow.

[metirish]

Nice win, needed it

Bathroom?? Seriously

He apparently had been sent home sick by Mendoza.



I'm also curious if Lindor's slide resulted in any damage.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I was watching this on delay and just now saw the ending. It was exhilarating! And that triumphant roar from Vientos is one I'll remember for a long time!

Did Vientos just "Wally Pipp" him or will he return to the minors when Marte returns?

Something is going to have to give, but it's unlikely to simply be Vientos for Wendle. The team had already been shorthanded, playing with a single backup infielder before Vientos arrived. If they're going to go back to only five infielders, it's unlikely that the fifth will be a guy who hasn't played shortstop since he was 17, and hasn't played second at all.



It could happen, but it would sure make their versatility problem worse.

[The Hot Corner]

Great start from Quintana. Nice to see a starter go more than 5 innings. Great moment for Vientos. Much needed win for the team. Hopefully it will give the team some cahnfidence as they prepare to host the Cubs.

Well, as you've noted, if they let the starters go more than their current limits, they wouldn't need as many relief pitchers. And a lower number of relievers would allow them to keep both Vientos and Wendle around.
